early on monday, quite a contrast in the uk.the winds are a bit lighter. we may have some sunshine around on monday. elsewhere, that wind is picking up, blowing in the cloud. a bit of rain moves through scotland, northern ireland, into northern parts of england and north wales. a little bit of rain follows on from that as well. but it's the change in the wind direction and the strengthening of this south—to—south—westerly wind that is tending to lift the temperatures. it's still quite chilly, perhaps, on monday across large parts of england and wales, where temperatures are going to be 5—6 degrees perhaps. but it is much milder further north — 12 or 13 in scotland and northern ireland. as we head into tuesday, we're still close to high pressure in the south, where it's a bit chillier. but elsewhere, the winds are coming in from the atlantic bringing in a lot of dry weather, but a lot of cloud, and we're continuing to see those temperatures rising — perhaps getting into double figures across parts of england and wales. thank you.

>> well, they've got musk and cummings in plot to sabotage uk politics.ly a very interesting story. so the theory is that dominic cummings is working with elon musk to come up with all these tweets and sabotage our politics. now, it is very possible because dominic cummings knows people in tech and he's quite fond of getting rid of rubbish prime ministers, you know, he's plotted, he plotted to get rid of boris. plotted to get rid of bo

. >> you know, before it was nick clegg, a prominent liberal uk politician, and nick clegg took a lot for instance, for some of the misinformation on that platform. and then earlier, you know, a few in the past few weeks, zuckerberg pushed basically nick clegg out and appointed joel kaplan, who's this republican official, to lead policy. now they're doing hits on fox news. they're going on joe rogan. so this is again part of this concerted effort. but i do think what you're getting at, you do see that tension. there is this tension between free speech. i think everyone wants free speech, but also the ramifications that come with free speech. >> and if you're spreading misinformation, particularly during the pandemic, about life saving vaccines, you know, how do you if you're mark zuckerberg, how do you manage that? >> do you let your algorithms amplify that speech? do you let it run rampant when it has real world consequences? meta. in the past, you know, maybe 6 or 7 years, eight years, they have decided that that's dangerous. and they had and systems in place to limit misinformation

fairly assess whether whether they can cannot add this to the grid which you know in the us in the uk in the netherlands the power grids are in an emergency state of lack of functioning. and so while this is already creaking and coming to a halt in some places, there are still plenty of data centers already in the pipeline meaning licenses given not yet built. so they're going to come online, it's going to get worse. and i also think it's in the interest of the tech companies get this organized well, because when things go bad, people will be angry at the tech companies because it's their data centers. you that are causing these problems. so it's these are, in my opinion, low threshold, easy steps to take that can help us have a better informed discussion about what is and is not appropriate. right. and really strikes me that ten years ago when we started, we embarked on that global commission on internet governance. this wasn't an issue we addressed and it just was not on the radar screen of the discussions at the time. and it very much is now. but one thing that was on our radar was

hundreds of thousands of rounds of artillery ammunition in the last year canada denmark france romania uk in the usa have found creative ways to train and ukrainian troops. ukraine's partners have provided broad and sustained support from patriot and hot air defense systems to thousands of armored vehicles. so all told contact group members have committed more than $126 billion in security assistance to ukraine. they have expanded production capacity in factories around the world and they have raced in sustainment capabilities to keep ukraine's equipment in the fight. so this coalition has become the arsenal of ukrainian democracy. it has become an engine of global security and this contact group has become the most consequential global coalition in more than 30 years. the contact group's mission is now driven by its capability coalitions with support from the national armaments directors. and today 14 countries and ukraine lead these important coalitions. they focus on ukraine's air force, armor, artillery, the mining, drones information technology, integrated air and missile defense in

the uk is in _ towards china? it is very hard to say. the uk is in the - towards china?e uk is in the reallyj to say. the uk is in the really difficult position of being nominally the united states's closest ally, but there is clearly no love lost between president elect trump and the labour administration, so the labour government in the uk. it is pretty uncertain. i think that and i guess that my concern about rachel reeves's visit to china is not so much that in the election campaign the labour party promised an audit of china relations. that audit of china relations. that audit has barely begun and what the uk does need to, in view of these geopolitical uncertainties, is a serious strategy towards china which uncertainties, is a serio

i'm joined now by former spokesman for reform uk gwen taylor, and former deputy leader reform uk beny look guys, political heavyweights, this is going to be a great debate i'm sure. but ben i'd love to start with you. look, you have been critical of nigel farage very openly, very honestly. do you think he's got this wrong on shemima or is this just a alleged misleading headline from itv? >> so just to be clear, i haven't been critical of nigel farage. what i've been critical of is some of the things that are coming out of reform uk and the constitution of the party. now that might be seen as being criticism of nigel, but i haven't had i haven't made any ad hominem attacks on nigel. for me it's all about policy and constitution. as far as shamima begum is concerned, i can see no case whatsoever for someone who is complicit in terroristic genocidal activity over a protracted period, however tragic her personal story might be for her to come back to the united kingdom, where we all know we've got a two tier criminal justice system and expose our civil society at vast cost to the danger

it is not a country that wants the uk to succeed in a purely benign way.s of things. we know that there have been all sorts of, you know, an uptick, as we've discussed many times, in the kind of threats from state actors that the uk faces. actually, what are you doing going to go and break bread with the chinese? so it's a difficult, difficult balance. they're not the first government to face it, but it kind of feels to me it's a bit like rinse and repeat, this. you know, the arguments that are being made about rachel reeves going or not going to china are kind of a rinse and repeat of previous prime ministers and previous chancellors going, where you get particular lobbies saying don't do it, other people saying, on you go. and when this is aired 50 years from now by historians saying the world changed in in the 2020s after covid, there was a global realignment happened. china, iran, russia and north korea aligned to break american hegemony. and that all happened, as was discussed by laura kuenssberg, dame laura kuenssberg, and paddy 0'connell back in 202

that weather front will be weakening as this area of high pressure builds in across the uk.and some mist and fog. northern ireland, southern scotland, perhaps parts of england and wales, but under clearer skies, towards central and eastern areas of both england and scotland, it will turn cold again. we could be down to —15 celsius or so for the northeast of scotland, so not quite as cold as the previous night, but still another hard frost to come for many away from the very far west. so tomorrow, we start off again on a chilly note. there will be frost and ice around to watch out for, some mist and fog, but it should be drier with more sunshine around before wind and rain arrives across the western isles later on. temperatures recovering across belfast and plymouth. another cold day to come for central and eastern areas and as we head through sunday night, the milder, cloudier, wetter, windier weather begins to push into scotland and northern ireland. but large parts of england and wales, with lighter winds and clear skies, will have another cold one — not as cold as it has

in the national interest" and that agreements reached in beijing would be worth £600 million to the ukhe conservatives, however, she should have cancelled the trip, and focus instead on recent increases in government borrowing costs and a fall in the value of the pound. with me is our political correspondent harry farley. why has rachel reeves chosen this time to go to beijing? i suppose her argument is that britain has no choice but to engage with china as the world's second largest economy, and obviously, the uk's fourth largest single trading partner. so her argument is that by developing and deepening ties with china, the benefits for the economy here can be seen. she is pointing to the £600 million she has negotiated in business this weekend. but this trip, and i suppose more importantly the longer term government approach to china, is fraught with potential difficulty. in the immediate term, there is market turbulence we have seen in the last few days, the cost of government debt going up at the same time as the value of the pound goes down. you mention both the conservatives and
